Arkadium moves into third-party publishing
Browser game specialist Arkadium is becoming a third-party publisher.
In a post on its website, the company announced that this was a continuation of its Arkadium for Developers distribution platform which it opened up in April. The company is also opening up a $1 million development fund, imaginatively-named Arkadium Publishing Fund 1 (APF1).
Arkadium's first third-party games include seven titles: Multiplayer Chess Online, Ridella, Categories, Room Escape, Element Blocks, Zoo Boom and an officially-licensed Who Wants to Be a Millionaire game.
“Arkadium is proudly opening its doors for third party developers to bring their browser-based games to a global audience, backed by substantial resources and an experienced team to support their efforts,” Arkadium CEO and co-founder Kenny Rosenblatt.
“We are leveling the playing field and expanding the reach of talented developers by providing best-in-class publishing and our one-million-dollar publishing fund.”
Arkadium's director of developer relations Dan Butchko added: “I’m thrilled to be able to reveal the seven games that will serve as our inaugural line up as they each come from amazing developers, who hail from all around the world! Our new Arkadium publishing initiative builds on our ‘Arkadium for Developers’ program with even more support for game developers to succeed on browser. This is the next step in our continuing growth as the leader of the BBG sector as we build the world’s best gaming platform alongside some of the most innovative and passionate game creators.”
